Help out a struggling intersex girl?

The NHS will prescribe utrogestan to perisex women for reasons caused by low progesterone such as fatique, night sweats, suicidal ideation increase, and more. Yet, when this comes to intersex women, they refuse to offer the same prescription on the NHS forcing the intersex woman to go private, even when it is medically necessary for the intersex woman. - it's a discriminatory practise.

So... help an intersex girl out so she CAN get necessary medication privately?

Hey guys, the NHS is continuing to not give her the medicine she needs to not be in constant pain. And generally toss her around between uncaring clinics that refuse to acknowledge her issues in the first place. She's literally diagnosed with an intersex condition? GPs refuse to acknowledge it because the place she got the diagnosis from 'wasn't directly NHS'. She tries to get her medicine from them? They send her to the gender clinics, who don't prescribe what she needs. I've been there for her GP visits, they will literally lie to your face about what they can and can't do, even when you have the laws right fucking there in front of them.

could we get some help? please? If you're tagged in this, i'm sorry for the annoyance, i'm grabbing at every popular blog or frequent mutual aid reblogger i can in hopes that some help will follow.

UPDATE

I have been kicked off of my clinic with no option of transfer to another clinic offered properly, and am no closer to my utrogestan.

I was kicked off because of seeking to prove to the system that these clinics are under that they need to examine each case properly, rather than as cookie cutter "all intersex people we labelled wrong are trans" methods.

I was kicked off entirely for trying to obtain utrogestan through ways that other intersex people and perisex cis people have managed to obtain them. Now I am unable to work towards my other goals regarding correcting a doctor's stupid mistake and forced incorrect surgery on me as an infant.

The UK does not care for intersex people. We need that to change. I'm back at square 0 with nothing towards utrogestan and no longer being under a clinic.

I’m going to sound insane for a sec but I feel like people are forgetting that casual players of Minecraft exist. The other day I saw someone talk about how no one uses mounts anymore because everyone uses elytra’s and it’s like HUH?? What are you on about bro 😭 wtf are you on about. Getting a horse used to be the biggest deal to me and it still is. Today I got into an argument about how Minecraft isn’t a game about colonialism because unless you choose to play as a colonist than it’s about love. It’s always been about love. No one is forcing you to make villager farms that’s all you man. I am just building a house and enjoying myself

God, can you imagine someone from Finland (or wherever) heading to a Midwestern state fair and eating every variety of fried thing imaginable?

[lumiklovstad]

I can, and arguably I must.

I always think that sport events, especially international ones, are primarily about fun and cultural exchange and hanging out together; it gets lost sometimes when people pay too much attention to keeping scores, but joy and building bridges should be more important. So glad this seems to be happening right now!

Do y'all ever think about how Kanata already knew all the words to Yumenosaki Ryuseitaika in Meteor Lights?

I started this comic a long ass time ago, but I stalled out in working on it so I decided to just focus in on the strongest moment.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

Hey. Heyhey. Do me a favor real quick.

If you don't already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.

Like. You don't need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

Can you turn your head to look behind you without twisting your shoulders? What about standing on your toes? If you sit down on the floor can you get back up without using your hands?

If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it's this one.

Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

okay so every time I see this post crop back up in queues and notifications I end up thinking about it. Because I made the post and even I'm still doing the thing where I read the post about maintaining range of motion in my delicate meatsuit and I nod and hmm and think yeah that's a good idea and then dont move from where I'm curled up shrimp style staring at the nightmare rectangle.

So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn't count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

When people think about this kind of body maintenance, they generally default to 'what if you fall over and can't get back up', which is very valid and important, but also. What if there was a cool bug? A pretty flower you would like to bend over and sniff? A puppy or a kitten at ankle height that needs petting and scritches and cuddles? A toddler who wants to tell you something? What if you want to follow the flight of a bird or a ball or a Frisbee or a plane or a butterfly and you need your neck to twist quickly enough to see it?

You deserve to be able to do all these things without pain or stiffness or lingering consequences. Doing a little bit goes a long way for ensuring that you body maintains the ability to carry you through the world and all it has to offer.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

Also, if you are not in the habit of regular strenuous aerobic workouts, and you have had covid recently ever, it's a good idea to check your lung function. Because it's a real nasty surprise to find out that the upper bounds of what your lungs can do has dropped significantly.

Take the deepest breath you can and feel out your limits. It is more than likely not what you expect.

It is possible to get it back and rebuild your capacity, but this is one of those things that unless you had a reason to notice will sit quietly in the background until you get suckerpunched at a bad moment.

This is worth reading.

“Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson’s research tells us that emotions like awe and wonder do not just feel good in the moment. They literally broaden our thinking and build long-term psychological resilience. People who regularly experience awe are more creative, more connected, and less susceptible to the feeling that everything is about to fall apart. Awe is a biological reset button, and four humans went to the moon and pushed it for all of us, and your body knew what to do with that before you maybe had words for it.”

[shirleycarlton]

"Here’s what happened. Four humans got into a rocket and went to the moon, farther from Earth than any humans have ever traveled in the history of our species. And they were so good at it, so genuinely moved by it, and so articulate about what they were seeing and feeling, that millions of people who have been running on anxiety and dread for the last eleven years just stopped for a moment and finally exhaled."

So many "I was born too late" takes are actually "I was born poor" like I'm sure you WOULD have loved whatever historical quirk you're talking about, but sadly you would not have been allowed to do that. You would have died in a coal mine aged 13.
